How can we help?

A Range of Techniques

We work using hands-on manual techniques to reduce the inflammation and swelling of the ligaments around the joint as well as to help with the joint’s mobility. We can also employ a range of other techniques such as ultrasound therapy, kinesio taping and acupuncture to help manage pain levels and speed up recovery.

Rehabilitation Exercise Programme

You will also be advised on exercises, stretches, icing etc. to help facilitate the recovery and rehabilitation of the affected joint.

Serious Injuries

For serious ligament injuries – such as tears or ruptures – we may need to refer you for further tests in order to ascertain the level of damage and communicate with a specialist to determine the prognosis and optimal treatment plan.

Our clinic located within Chatteris covers areas including March, Ely, Wisbech, Huntingdon, St Ives & Whittlesey and beyond.
